Washington special says: 1t is I'm
derstood that the successor of S. 81

terview General Sheridan outlines a

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Presi-
dent received the Interstate Commerce
bill last evening and has referred it to
the Attorney General for examination
1t is not likely that the President will
act upon the bill much before the ex-
piration of the ten days period. A
number of applications have already
been received for appointment on the
Commission provided for in the bill,
but the President has not as yet given
that particular subject serious consid-
Grafton.

tan Temperance Union of this State,

for the position she has taken in the
chief social circles Of the nation as a

TORONTO, Jan. 26.-The Nail says:
Retaliatory measures have been passed
by the United States, and as the re-
suit poor Canada is to suffer all the
frowns of the Republic if she persists
in insisting on her treaty rights. The
Canadian authorities simply required
fishermen to obey the customs laws,
such as all American vessels frequent
ing Canadian ports are obliged to
obey, and to report on entrance and
clear regularly upon departure. Only
two seizures were made for the viola
ton by Americans of the treaty by the
purchasing of bait The Canadian
Government has not in one single in
stance refused any fair right of hospi-
tality, having allowed all reasonable
facilities for shelter, repairs, obtaining
wood and water, getting medical adj
vice and reasonable supplies for the
sustenance of life when vessels have
run out of these ports, and for this
Eastern fishermen want the American
people to refuse to purchase from or
to sell to Canada.
New York, Jan. 26.-Five members
of the Chamber of Commerce say they
have some misgivings as to the effect
of the bill retaliating against Cana
dian commerce as adopted by the Sen
ate, on the assumption that it will
damage American trade as much as
that of the people upon whom we are
seeking to retaliate The free-traders
have made the discovery that it will
give certain persons down East mo-
nopoly of the fish market and that the
consumers here will have to pay dear
for the experiment. A strong pres
sure will be brought to bear on the
the President, with view to veto the
measure, on the ground that the bill
is too stringent. Democratic leaders
who take political view of the mat
ter allege that were the President to
yield to that pressure. it would cost
the Democratic party the next cleo
ton and might even imperil the next
Presidency
PANAMA, Jan. 25.-Great excitement
prevails throughout Chile at the ap-
pearance of cholera on its boundaries.
A strict quarantine was forced against
vessels coming from suspected ports
and the passes on the Argentine from
tier were closed, but the disease, it
appears, has surmounted all barriers
and reached the Pacific slope.
